Yes, he's one of the fans that Al actually knows pretty well.

Kevin's terrific - if you're ever in the Costa Mesa area, you've got to catch him hosting karaoke. It's a lot of fun!

Al's pal Ben Folds is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. He'll be performing "You Don't Know Me", a song from his new cd "Way to Normal" as well as "Nobody Does It Better". Apparently, they had to play both songs twice, because something got messed up. This is coming from someone who went to the taping. Looking forward to it.

Still can't believe I got a hug from Ben Folds.

I'd add You Don't Know Me and Cologne, from his latest album. He did a freaky European-TV-parody video for Cologne, for the version with the ten-piano orchestra

I'm in lazy mode tonight: does anyone have a link to an online video of this?

Ben with Regina Spektor:

You Don't Know Me

Ben with Inara George. I was most impressed with her:

Nobody Does It Better

You have to put up with some James Bond movie footage at the beginning.

Thanks!! Ben is so awesome!

Yes, he is, and I'm a fan thanks to Al. Of course, Al is first on my list, but Ben ranks pretty high, maybe even second.
